Why ransomware still gets through XDR
56% of businesses have been hit over the past year, with 42% of them losing data. It’s no longer a matter of if a ransomware attack will occur. It’s when. So how do you defend yourself in the midst of this pandemic? One of the most potent defenses is early detection of ransomware and prevention of lateral spread.
In this session, Elastio Chief Scientist Srinidhi Varadarajan and Recorded Future’s ransomware specialist Allan Liska walk through why XDR misses key ransomware behaviors, and how detection at the backup and storage layer closes that gap before lateral spread takes hold.
- Why traditional XDR misses today’s ransomware tradecraft.
- How attackers evade endpoint detection to reach backup and storage data.
- Where backup-aware detection adds visibility XDR can’t provide.
